I think being straight forward... and being honest with myself.. if more impowering than worrying about what others are going to say! Afterall.. it is that behavior that has kept me being fat and dishonorable to myself...

I went to my inlaws for Thanksgiving and my partners parents were great about not forcing carbs and even asked us what all we could and couldn't eat and she cooked accordingly...

My older sister is concerned.. because she is my older sister..

AND I am sure I will hit a few more bumps along the way... and that is fine...

I am going to do a bit more research.. and read the Eades book.. from what everyone has described.. it is great information...
